Camden County linebacker Jarrad Davis commits to Florida

Three-star recruit flips from Auburn to Gators

It took a little longer to get here, but Camden County linebacker Jarrad Davis got the offer that he wanted all along. Davis verbally committed to Florida late Saturday, giving the Gators’ recruiting class another addition in what has been a stellar week. The Rivals three-star prospect had been committed to Auburn since last April, but the Tigers’ instability pushed Davis into reopening the process.

Camden coach Jeff Herron confirmed that Davis, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound outside linebacker, got an offer Friday and made the pledge a day later.

“I’m glad for him,” Herron said. “I think that’s what he wanted to happen all along.”

Davis had a team-leading 114 total tackles for the Wildcats, who finished 11-2 and reached the AAAAAA state quarterfinals. His pledge bolsters Camden’s class even higher. Quarterback Brice Ramsey and athlete J.J. Green are committed to Georgia, and offensive lineman J.P. Vonashek has committed to South Carolina, the first time that Herron has had more than two players in a class commit to Football Bowl Subdivision programs.

Davis’ commitment gives Florida its 25th player in the Class of 2013, and its fifth pledge in the past week. Receiver Demarcus Robinson, linebacker Matt Rolin and offensive linemen Trenton Brown and Roderick Johnson all either committed, or reaffirmed their commitments since Dec. 9.

Davis is Florida’s fourth commitment at linebacker, a crop that includes First Coast star Daniel McMillian.
